ABSTRACT:
A system and method for documenting and checking the common connections provided by each wire of a cable between connector terminals located at opposite ends of the cable. The system includes a cable analyzer which is used to generate control information for quickly and reliably verifying standardization of each cable design, an optional printer or other suitable means of documenting the control information, and a binder or other appropriate means for organizing and filing the documentation which contains the control information. The analyzer automatically scans and records the common connections provided by each wire of the cable between the connector terminals at the ends of the cable. The terminal interconnections may then be printed so as to document the cable design for later reference. The analyzer also uses the terminal interconnections to automatically generate and record a unique alphanumeric or numeric code, called a "cable signature," which is also printed as part of the design documentation. Proper cable design can be quickly verified for subsequent cables by using the cable analyzer and the documented design information.
